November 2025

Dear Friends,   

This month we will observe Remembrance Sunday, which is an occasion for personal thanksgiving and grieving for many people, alongside our broader reflections on service and sacrifice, and our longing for peace and justice in the world.

We will also have a special service at All Souls’ tide for our four parishes, at which we have the opportunity to remember loved ones, and seek the assurance of God’s comfort and hope. We specifically invite those we know who have lost loved ones over the past year, but this service is open to everyone who would like to come and share in it, as we name in prayer those whose memory in dear to us, light candles as we remember them, and call to mind God’s promises to us.

You are welcome to come and join us for this service, in the church in Little Brickhill at 5.00pm on Sunday 2nd November, and share in reflection, prayer and thanksgiving, remembering the hope we may have in the love of God shown to us through the life, death, and rising again of Jesus.

For it is Jesus who said:
    Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. (Matthew 5. 4)

Revd John Waller
